Jackie Chan Adventures: I, the Holy Lord's Brother!

Chapter 44 Treasure Hunter

Time flies by so quickly.

Two thousand years have passed since the eight demons were sealed.

During these two thousand years, the demonic energy has been at its lowest point, but the destiny of the human race has begun to thrive like never before, like a nourished tree.

In just over a thousand years, dynasties in the human world have been constantly changing. Many powerful dynasties have risen in history like dazzling new stars, and then ended brilliantly like brilliant meteors.

The devil seemed to be gradually forgotten.

It was not until more than 2,600 years later that the seven demons joined forces to release the Holy Lord from Pangu Hell, and the demons returned to the world again.

However, the Holy Lord, who was supposed to keep his promise, did not release the seven demons as agreed, but instead ruled the world alone with his son.

In this way, another four thousand years passed.

A Saint named Lope was born in accordance with the balance of yin and yang. He used powerful righteous magic to turn the Holy Lord into a stone statue and sealed him in a place unknown to the world, ending the era of the Holy Lord.

Afterwards, the human world developed rapidly, the old feudal system was eliminated, and the emerging social system began to gradually replace the past.

Over six thousand years, the demon race was completely buried in the dust, and humans seemed to have become the new masters of this world.
New World, 2000.

Asia, Malaysia, western primeval forest.

This is a very ancient primeval forest. Legend has it that a primitive people called the Tuya people once lived here.

[Note: The Tuya people created this story themselves.]
The Tuya people love gold and have a unique way of smelting it.

The Tuya tribal totem discovered deep in the forest in 1988 also describes how much the Tuya people love gold.

Therefore, with the extinction of the Tuya people, the original treasures left behind by the Tuya people attracted many treasure hunters from all over the world.

They all dream of finding this treasure, making a fortune and achieving financial freedom.

At this moment, deep in the forest, there were three figures carrying mountaineering bags and holding military-style daggers, walking through the vines, cutting through the thorns.

There were three people, two men and one woman, all with blonde hair, and they spoke with a standard American accent.

It was obvious that the three of them were treasure hunters from the West, and from the dirt on their bodies, it was not difficult to tell that the three of them had obviously stayed in this forest for a long time.

"Beth, are you sure the map your grandfather left you is correct? Why haven't we found the place marked on the map after searching for a month?"

Among the three, a tall young man who looked no more than twenty years old spoke impatiently.

The man he called Bess was wearing camouflage clothes and was looking at the map in his hand, searching for the treasure spot.

Hearing the young man's question, Beth said slowly: "Jack, don't worry, I have a feeling we will find it soon."

"Beth, you're saying that again. I can't remember how many times you've explained this to me in the past month."

Jack clenched his right hand, stabbed a knife into the tree trunk next to him, and said angrily, "Bess, if I don't find the Tuya treasure you mentioned by today, I will withdraw my funding from you!"

"You know, the reason I funded you and even came here with you as a treasure hunter is because I wanted to prove myself to my father."

"But in this month, I haven't seen any possibility, so I hope you can understand me."

"Of course, Jack!" Beth turned her head and said, "I see all your help to me. Even if we still can't find the Tuya people's treasure today, I will do my best to help you." "Okay, I will help you look for it again."

Boom!
Before Jack could finish his words, he suddenly stepped on empty air and fell directly into an inconspicuous sinkhole.

"Jack, Jack!!" Bess ran over hurriedly, lying at the edge of the cave and shouting down.

Soon after, Jack's voice came from below: "Beth, I'm fine, but you'd better come down and take a look as soon as possible. I think I found the Tuya people's treasure!"

"What!" Beth exclaimed in shock.

He quickly unfolded the yellowed map in his hand, and after several comparisons, he found that the treasure spot marked with a bright red cross on the map was the land under his feet!
"Rose, come here and help me tie the rope, I'll go down and take a look!" Beth said excitedly to the woman next to her.

The woman nodded and tied one end of the rope to a big tree.

Beth pulled the rope around his waist, and after confirming that the rope could support his weight, he descended along the wall of the cave.

Beth only discovered it after entering the cave.

It turned out that there was a large area of ​​green moss growing under the cave entrance. This moss has extremely strong pressure resistance and can withstand impacts of thousands of kilograms.

Jack was standing on the moss at this time. Apart from his slightly messy clothes and hair, he did not seem to have suffered any substantial damage.

However, Beth was still checked by Jack, and only after confirming that there was no problem did she breathe a sigh of relief: "Jack, you really scared me to death."

"Don't talk about this anymore. Come with me and see if this is the legendary Tuya treasure!" Jack excitedly grabbed Bess and walked deeper into the cave.

Beth turned on the flashlight.

The bright white light shone on the cave wall.

With the help of the light, Beth saw many strange patterns carved on the surrounding walls.

Some look like snakes, some look like birds, giving people a feeling that is both familiar and unfamiliar.

Looking at the pattern, Beth shook her head and said, "I don't know much about the customs of the Tuya people, but you can take a photo and send it to Rose. She should be able to tell the difference."

Jack curled his lips: "That's not what I want you to see!"

"Oh? Is there something else?" Bess asked in confusion. He was a little disappointed because he didn't see any gold after entering the cave. He thought this might just be an abandoned gathering place of the Tuya people.

Jack seemed to be completely oblivious to the disappointment on Beth's face. He dragged Beth forward until they turned a curved cave entrance and came to an extremely vast space.

When Beth raised the flashlight for no apparent reason and shone it in front of him, the scene in front of him shocked him to the point of being stunned.

I saw that the cave in front of me was filled with gold, all kinds of luxurious and exquisite gold products, so many that they were thrown on the ground like garbage. The moss clinging to them seemed to be telling about the distant past.

But what shocked Beth the most was not the gold, but the more than 200 lifelike demon statues behind the gold products!

The moment the light shone on the statue, Best felt a chill down his spine.

It was as if an invisible hand was silently placed on his shoulder at this moment.

Especially the huge round dragon coil hanging on the wall at the back of the statue gave Bes a feeling so heavy that it was difficult to breathe.

What on earth is this place!
